Why we not have?

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette leads the front page with a belated report on bookkeeping questions at a local college when they could have run this? 

I admit it. The thing I love most about visiting England is rounding up all the papers every day -- Sun, Star, Mirror, News of the World, Telegraph, Guardian, Times. Each with its own slant, well understood by readers, and features.

So have you been purchasing carbon offsets for all of your domestic and international travel?

It's only front page news for the DOG if it involves Clinton.

Speaking of Hillary Clinton, there are rumors that she's not out of the picture for the Democratic party's candidate for President. As Obama flip flops on issue after issue and moves to the right, the delegates are getting ticked off. Hillary may make a surprise comeback in Denver. Naturally, it won't be her decision, but her people will demand that she do it. Now that she has her plant at FOX news, and her consultants are working for Obama, it won't take too much effort to take Obama off the cliff (i.e. figuratively, not literally). I'd be watching my back if I were Obama, the Clintons are furious that Hillary did not win the nomination.

Severus, you are a certified genus. You join a thread about Brits whipping each other's asses and toss in some crap about the Democratic National Convention.

In your world, I guess, consensual S&M is the same thing as politics.

So how are these papers different that the Arkansas Times?

I've been anxiously waiting for DBI's description of Nazi orgies in Ft. Smith.

Guess he hasn't recovered yet from watching the you tube video referenced in the article.

EarlySwagger,

Don't count the Clintons out yet. There's a reason that Rove and his buddies provided seed money for Obama's campaign. Take away the teleprompter, and Obama starts making gaffes that make George Bush sound intelligent by comparison.

"So how are these papers different that the Arkansas Times?"

AT doesn't have a Page 3 Girl yet. That would boost the circulation.

"You join a thread about Brits whipping each other's asses and toss in some crap about the Democratic National Convention."


Since this is a thread about the Brits ( as was declared by Earl Swagger); Check this out, they have gone from gun control to knife control.

What is next club control to keep them from beating each other? How about match control so no one gets burned?

"AT doesn't have a Page 3 Girl yet. That would boost the circulation."

Would Gauge pose for the Ark Times?

I'm not a big fan of the spank. My grandmother was into caning, but that involved weaving seat bottoms for antique chairs. When Crazy Earl's first opened up in Fort Baptist I had to go look and I learned my first lesson about sex toys. Do not let the man go alone to buy the sex toys! An inexperienced husband will always buy his wife sex toys too big to fit thru the Holland Tunnel.

One day I saw this really cool looking Cat 'o 9 tails...go on admit it, they're cool looking....like ferns made of leather or something. Back in the day, every time I brought home a sex toy my wife would give me that same look Lee Harvey Oswald made when Jack Ruby shot him. I'd put the s toy away and wait for that magical Haley's Comet moment in the distant future when she'd think plastic/rubber fun was alright.

So one dark night after a bone-crushing week of one financial disaster after another I pulled out the little whip and we whipped the bejesus out of each other and NOTHING. Don't get it? Evidently not in our DNA. Should have known then that we don't have a drop of Republican in us. Which reminds me to make a note to self: before death...find that little whip in all this mess!

This case in London isn't about sex, it's about a newspaper's right to publish private sexual information of adults who agreed to meet in private for paid sexual gratification. Is it any of the Arkansas Time's business if jazzy and zelda and I meet up to whip, lick or draw cat cartoons on each other's naked bodies? Since the 3 of us are over 18, I think not. My prostitute friend told me 10 years ago about being called to a church on the south side of town one morning in the middle of the week to "do" the preacher on the altar down in front. The preacher insisted she wear clothes he could tear off of her and he kept yelping about being dirty....so dirty.....momma....I'm dirty.

Atheist though I am, even I am not interested in sex in a church. If it was the last place on earth....well...maybe, but it's snot. I'm guessing that's as disgusting as a Nazi themed spank orgy to most people, but I don't find it very newsworthy and if it had been exposed, I don't think such knowledge would help make "life worth living in Fort Smith, Arkansas!"

Life is hard....life after 45 is boring as shit. I'm all for anything 2 or 9 naked adults want to get together and do with each other. And in the future should some kind of adult sex party break out....you all give me a call and I'll bring a whole TG&Y plastic bag full of unused sex toys. I know they're safe because the last time I got them out AIDS hadn't been discovered.

"Why we not have?"

Why do we need News of the World when we have Faux News & the DoG?

"So how are these papers different that the Arkansas Times? ARed

They lack your erudite posts and input of biting wit, ARed.

"Propagandists use the name-calling technique to incite fears and arouse prejudices in their hearers in the intent that an invoked bad name will cause hearers to construct a negative opinion about a person, group, or set of beliefs or ideas that the propagandist would wish hearers to denounce. The method is intended to provoke conclusions and actions about a matter apart from an impartial examinations of the facts of the matter. When employed, name-calling is thus a substitute for rational, fact-based arguments against an idea or belief, based upon its own merits."


The BBC covered the S/M thingie at length and surmized it was a NAZI sex party, with lots of dominance games.

I sorta bet the crew at ADG got a little red-faced over the whole bit of patent leather boot-stockings, Nazi hats with spit shined bills and the usual regalia. Could old Paul be hiding stuff in his closet? It sure turned me on for 10 minutes, wondering if the ADG was into the finer stuff of Nazi love.

>>So how are these papers different that the Arkansas Times? ARed
They don't get to publish "clinton lied to a court of law" every 3rd day and they don't get my reminders that Clinton was impeached by Republicans OVER A BLOW JOB.

Oh hell, DBI, now you had to go n tell everyone about Zelda drawing cat cartoons all
over my body!!!!!!!

......Kitty kitty....here kitty kitty.....

Meow, meow, purr, purr

Has anyone heard anything about a Million Woman March in Denver. A friend visiting in Denver said there was lots of talk about it.
